This weakly suggests that they should be introduced for new public types. I have no preference, but I think we should mention it here if we're mentioning internal types.
Agreed. More specifically, I think we should encourage defining the Ptr alias for public types because, much as I dislike their existence, having a mix of both conventions in the public API would be IMO worse than sticking with the status quo. -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
